My near miss with Kangaroos today

[shokk]

I had a close call today , just missing two Kangaroos. I think there must have been a coat of paint between my car and the second roo. it is a pity I wasn't in my car with the SG in it. I was in the wife's car with the older B40 in it, otherwise the footage may have been a bit clearer. It was fairly early in the morning though

Was this in a fairly rural area?

They really are car seeking missiles ...
For animals with such good eye sight , it amazes me they have such a attraction to ramming cars ..
You don't see antelope running into the jaws of a lion (?)

Maybe it's similar to the problem we have in parts of North America with deer running across the highway. Most make it... some don't.

doesn't need to be rural, you won't see them hopping down the street in the CBD anytime soon but I live in Sydney in the suburbs and seeing dead ones on the side of the road where I live is not uncommon at all

Interesting. As I alluded to earlier, there appear to be similarities between kangaroos and deer in regards to issues with cars... both out in the sticks and in the 'burbs.
